ANNUAL REPORT

LETTER OF TRANSM ITTAL

A tlanta, G a., April 18th, 1929.
T o H is E xcellency, Governor L. G. H ardman:
The Georgia Public Service Commission subm its herewith its 56th Report, as re quired by law, covering the business and transactions of the Commission for the year ending D ecem ber 31, 1928.
In our previous report reference was made to bills pending in Congress to restore to the State Commissions authority to make and control intrastate rates as formerly held under the principles laid down in w hat is known as the "Shreveport Case." As yet Congress has m ade no modification of the A ct o f 1920 along th e lines suggested.

RAILROAD RATES
Rates on Brick. In our 55th Report reference was made to the revision of rates on brick and complaints filed before the In terstate Commerce Commission alleging th a t the rates prescribed by our Commission for intrastate application in Georgia are unreasonably low and create discriminations against interstate commerce. The Interstate Commerce Commission has not yet issued a final order'disposing of this complaint.
Rates on Logs. Complaint before Interstate Commerce Commission. Reference was m ade in our 55th R eport to formal com plaint filed by this Commission before the In terstate Commerce Commission regarding discrim ination in rates on logs from points in Florida to points in Georgia a? compared with the rates intrastate on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad within the State of Florida. The Interstate Commerce Commission issued final orders in this case on A ugust 2, 1928, sustaining th e com plaint of our Commission. The effect of 1he order of the In terstate Commerce Commission was to reduce to some extent the rates on logs from points in Florida to points in Georgia \ and to increase the rates within the State of Florida to be the same as the interstate ''rates from Florida to Georgia.
The Florida Railroad Commission and certain lum ber m anufacturers in Florida filed petitions for injunction against the order of th e In terstate Commerce Commission | before the U nited States D istrict C ourt and this Commission intervened in support of . the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The case has been heard before the United States D istrict Court on three different occasions and the order of the Intrstate Commerce Commission has been upheld by the Courts. Thus the discrimination against the Georgia m anufacturers has been removed.

Rates on Cottonseed and Cottonseed Products.
In our 55th Report reference was made to the general investigation instituted by the Interstate Commerce Commission relative to rates on cottonseed, cottonseed products and related articles, under its docket No. 17000, p art 8. The hearings and taking of testi m ony in this investigation were not com pleted u n til M a rc h 15, 1929, and th e proposed report and recommendations of the Exam iners of the Interstate Commerce Commission will probably not be distributed before fall of the current year. This is one of the most im portant rate adjustm ents affecting the interest of the South th at the Interstate Com merce Commission has undertaken, and as advised in our previous report, our Commis sion is represented on a Committee co-operating w ith the Interstate Commerce Com mission in working out this adjustm ent.
Rates on Cotton.
In our 55th Report reference was made to the general investigation by the Inter state Commerce Commission of the rates on cotton throughout Southern and W estern territory, including the rates from Southern and W estern territory to Eastern territory under In terstate Commerce Commission D ocket 17000, p a rt 3. T he tak in g o f testim ony and evidence in this case was completed sometime ago b ut the Interstate Commerce Com mission has not yet subm itted its tentative proposed report and findings. As advised in our previous report, this Commission is co-operating w ith the Interstate Commerce Commission in working out this very im portant rate adjustm ent.
Rates on Sand, Crushed Stone, Gravel, Etc.
In our 55th Report reference was made to an attack before the Interstate Com merce Commission by the A tlantic Coast Line Railroad and shippers of sand and gravel in Alabama and Tennessee on the rates prescribed by our Commission on these commodi ties and the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission making a revision of the inter state rates and application of the Georgia carriers to our Commission for approval of the rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
As stated in our previous report, the rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission if made effective in Georgia would m aterially increase the freight cost to the State Highway D epartm ent and other large users of these materials. Our investigation developed th at the interstate rates if applied to Georgia intrastate traffic would cause rank discriminations between the producers of these m aterials within the State of Geor gia. As a result of our investigation we issued an order M arch 13, 1928, effective M ay 1, 1928, revising the Georgia rates to conform as nearly as practicable to th e in terstate rates, b u t so adjusted as to remove the possibility of discrimination between shippers and con signees in Georgia.
The carriers and shippers in Alabama and Tennessee filed another com plaint w ith the Interstate Commerce Commission again attacking the Georgia rates as discrim inating against interstate commerce. Hearings have been had before the Interstate Commerce Commission and our Commission subm itted evidence and testimony in support of our order. T he Interstate Commerce Commission has not yet issued a final order disposing of the matter.
II

Rates on Peaches.
Previous reference has been made to the investigation of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the m atter of rates on peaches from Georgia to N orthern and Eastern destinations. Subsequent to our 54th Report the Interstate Commerce Commission has issued final orders in this case which were not satisfactory to the Georgia shippers and petition was filed by the Georgia shippers for re-argument. The Interstate Commerce Commission granted re-argument b u t declined to modify its order.
The order of the Interstate Commerce Commission had th e effect of increasing and decreasing some of the rates from Georgia shipping points to N orthern and Eastern territory b u t the increases in the carload minimum weight more th an offset the decreases in the rates, and the final result ' was a total increase in the transportation charge on peaches from Georgia to interstate destinations.
The order of the Interstate Commerce Commission decreased to some extent th e cost for refrigeration service which was not satisfactory to the Georgia shipping interests, and they have petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission for rehearing in regard to the refrigeration. The Interstate Commerce Commission has not yet acted on this petition.
The Georgia carriers now have before our Commission a petition for approval of rates authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission for intrastate application within the State of Georgia which is now being given consideration by our Commission.
Rates on Lumber and other Forest Products.
Reference was made in our 55th Report to the general investigation by the Interstate Commerce Commission in the m atter of rates on lumber and other forest products from Georgia and other Southern territory to the Carolina territory and N orthern and Eastern territory. This Commission co-operated w ith the Interstate Commerce Commission in taking testimony in this proceeding. The Examiners of the Interstate Commerce Com mission have subm itted their proposed report and recommendations to shippers and carriers and the m atter will very probably come on for final argum ent before the Inter state Commerce Commission within the next 60 or 90 days, but will probably not be dis posed of before the end of the current year.
Rates on Petroleum and Petroleum Products.
In our 54th Report reference was made to our co-operation with the Interstate Com merce Commission in its general investigation of rates on petroleum and petroleum products throughout Southern territory, also from W estern territory to Southern terri tory. The taking of testimony was completed some months ago and a proposed report and recommendation has been filed by the Examiners of the In terstate Commerce Commission, b u t it is not probable that, a final order will be issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission before the end of the current year.
Rates on Cottonseed Hulls.
The order of the Interstate Commerce Commission revising interstate rates on fertilizer and fertilizer materials between points in Southern territory included the rates on cottonseed hulls, and the same rates authorized on fertilizer were authorized to be applied to shipments of cottonseed hulls. As stated in our 55th Report, the Georgia
III

carriers filed a petition w ith our Commission for approval of the interstate rates which was supported by the fertilizer m anufacturers and shippers and which has been au thorized.
The fertilizer rates were slightly higher than the existing rates on cottonseed hulls an d on July 7, 1927, th e C ottonseed Crushers Association of Georgia filed com plaint w ith our Commission against the rates on cottonseed hulls and a t the hearings on these complaints it was shown th at some of the other Southern States had not adopted the fertilizer rates on cottonseed hulls, which resulted in a loss to the m anufacturers and shippers of cottonseed hulls in Georgia. As a result of our investigation of these com plaints we revised th e rates on cottonseed hulls effective D ecem ber 15, 1927, restoring th e rates th a t were in effect prior to July 1, 1927. '
The rates on cottonseed hulls are involved in the general investigation being made by the Interstate Commerce Commission on cottonseed and cottonseed products under its D ocket 17000, p art 8, previously referred to in this report.
Rates on Roofing and Building Material.
Subsequent to our last report we have revised the rates on composition roofing and building material throughout the State to conform to the interstate rates authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission on these materials from interstate points into Georgia. The new rates result in both increases and decreases but remove all discrimina tions and bring about uniformity between the interstate rates and the intrastate rates.
Rates on Wooden Building Material.
Subsequent to our last report, as a result of formal com plaints filed by shippers a t Augusta, Georgia, we have made a general investigation of the rates on wooden building m aterial throughout the State. Our investigation developed there was no uniformity of rates on wooden building material either interstate or intrastate in this territory and m any discriminations existed between the shippers in Georgia. As a result of this in vestigation we revised rates on wooden building material, carload, between all points within the State of Georgia, making the rates uniform and placing all shippers on a parity according to distance and location, resulting in some increases and m any decreases.
Rates on Sugar.
Subsequent to our last report the Interstate Commerce Commission revised the interstate rates on sugar between all points in Southern territory and a petition was filed w ith our Commission by carriers for approval of the rates authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission were approximately the same as the rates prescribed by our Commission effective N ovem ber 15, 1923, and, therefore, we approved for in tra sta te application in Georgia th e rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, thus bringing about uniform ity be tween the interstate and intrastate rates.
Rates on Iron and Steel Turpentine Cups.
Subsequent to our last report shippers of turpentine cups a t Mobile, Alabama, filed com plaint w ith the Interstate Commerce Commission alleging the rates from Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia, to destinations w ithin the State of Georgia, discriminate against the shippers of turpentine cups from Mobile to points in Georgia. The Interstate Com-
IV

merce Commission entered an order requiring the carriers to remove the alleged discrimi

nation, which resulted in the carriers filing their petition w ith our Commission for ap

proval of rates on iron and steel turpentine cups on basis of

per cent of the first-class

rate.

Georgia produces more naval stores than any other state and, therefore, the move m ent o f turpentine Cups w ithin th e S tate o f Georgia is greater th a n in an y other state. Turpentine cups are m anufactured at Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia.

As a result of our investigation the rates on turpentine cups, carload, have been revised and new rates authorized on basis of 30 per cent of the first class rate.

Rates on Live Stock
Since our 55th R eport com plaint has been filed by th e carriers w ith th e In te rsta te Commerce Commission against the rates on live stock between points in Georgia and shippers have filed com plaint against interstate rates between points in Southern terri tory. As a result of these complaints the Interstate Commerce Commission instituted a general investigation of rates on live stock throughout Southern territory, and within the last few days the Examiners of the Interstate Commerce Commission have subm itted a proposed report and recommendation which if adopted by the Interstate Commerce Commission will result in m aterial increases in the present live stock rates in Georgia.

Gur Commission was represented at the hearings before the Interstate Commerce Commission in the interest of the growers of live stock and packing house plants in the State, and brief has been filed protesting any increase in the present rates. O ur investiga tion shows a t the present tim e Georgia is not producing sufficient cattle to supply the packing house industry in the State and large numbers of cattle are being shipped into Georgia from other States for slaughter. It is the purpose of our C o m m ission to endeavor to have provided such reasonable rates on edible live stock as will encourage this industry in Georgia.

Interstate Rates
In addition to the revisions which have been made in our Georgia intrastate rates and the general investigations in which we have co-operated with the Interstate Commerce Commission on interstate rates which involved our Georgia rates, our Commission has brought about m any im portant adjustm ents of interstate rates to and from Georgia by handling informally w ith the carriers for account of the shippers, as required by law. Some of the more im portant adjustm ents are the rates on green peppers from points in Georgia to E astern destinations whic^i have resulted in m aterial reductions from shipping points involved. As a result of our informal handling w ith the carriers we have secured revision of rates on knitting factory products from some of our Georgia shipping points to Eastern and Virginia cities, which benefits these Georgia shippers very materially.

Rates from Georgia to Southwestern Territory
Subsequent to our last report the Interstate Commerce Commission has entered an order revising the rates on all classes and m any commodities from Georgia and other Southern territory to w hat is known as Southwestern territory, including Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana, west of the Mississippi River. The order of the Inter state Commerce Commission has destroyed the relationship between Georgia ship-

V

ping points and shipping points in N orthern territory, which has existed for many years, and if carried into effect the m anufacturers and shippers in Georgia will be unable to meet
the com petition of m anufacturers and shippers in the territory north of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers.
The Southeastern Association of Railroad and U tility Commissioners, of which our Commission is a m em ber, petitioned th e In terstate Commerce Commission to re open this investigation but this petition was denied. However, the Interstate Com merce Commission has later, partially re-opened the case on its own motion and has ac cepted evidence as to the reasonableness of the rates from Georgia to Southwestern territory, also the reasonableness of bridge tolls at the Mississippi river which are au thorized in the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Our Commission has in tervened in this case, as re-opened, and subm itted testimony and evidence on behalf of our Georgia shippers and carriers. I t will probably be several m onths before this case is finally disposed of by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
EXPRESS RATES
Since our last Report there has been no general revision of any character of our express rates.
The status of the American Railway Express Company has been changed and this com pany is now controlled by the Railway Express Agency, Inc., this latter company being owned by purchase of stock by the various railroads throughout the United States. This reorganization has been approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
UTILITY RATES. Viz: Gas, Electric, Street Railway, and Telephone Companies.
Electric Rates. Reference was made in our 55th Rep art to the merging of m any of the small elec tric properties, including m any of the municipally owned plants with the larger electric companies, and particularly to the consolidations with the Georgia Power Company. These mergers have continued and a t this time the Georgia Power Company is operating in approxim ately 160 towns in Georgia. These mergers have resulted in, most instances, material decreases in the rates for electric service, and great improvement in the service.
U ntil recently the Georgia Power Company operated 22 different schedules of rates for residential electric service throughout its system, b u t effective with m eter readings of January, 1929, we made a com plete revision of all the residential light and residential power rates of the Georgia Power Company and prescribed uniform rates to be applied to all customers alike, throughout the State, served by this company. Our investiga tion developed th a t under the old system of rates some customers were not paying the actual cost of m aintaining the service. The new system of rates provides for a service charge to all residential customers alike, plus a charge for energy more nearly the cost of producing and delivering the energy, which resulted in slight increases to customers th a t were not paying their p art of the cost of the service, b u t in material decreases to customers th at constantly use the service. We now have under consideration the revision of rates of the Georgia Power Company for commercial lighting and retail power, it being the purpose of the Commission, if possible, to work out uniform rates for this class of service.
VI


Subsequent to our last report we have revised the electric rates of the Georgia Power & Light Company serving Valdosta, W aycross, Bainbridge and m any other communi ties in South Georgia. This revision resulted in uniform rates and general reductions to all of these communities.
The development of hydro-electric power in Georgia continues to grow and the extension of electric service to the rural districts is progressing rapidly. M any small communities th a t have not heretofore been provided with service are now enjoying elec tric service at a reasonable cost.
Gas Rates.
Subsequent to our last report the Commission has revised the gas rates at A tlanta, Valdosta and Waycross, Georgia, w hich has resulted in decreased cost for g..s service in these communities. We now have under consideration the gas rates at Augusta, Georgia, and it is our purpose to revise these rates as early as practicable.
Subsequent to our last report the C entral Public Service Corporation, with head quarters a t Chicago, Illinois, has purchased the gas properties at A tlanta, Athens, Bruns wick and M acon. The C entral Public Service Corporation now owns all the gas proper ties in Georgia under our jurisdiction, except the properties at Columbus, Americus and Savannah, Georgia.
Natural Gas. The Southern N atural Gas Company, engaged in the distribution of natural gas, has contracted to construct a pipe line from th e oil fields a t M onroe, Louisiana, through Mississippi, A labam a and Georgia, during 1929, w hich will result in providing n atu ral gas, through this source, a t A tlanta, Cedartown, Rome, D alton, Cartersville, Jonesboro, Griffin, Barnesville, Forsyth, M acon, and all interm ediate points in either direction, as well as m any other towns in Georgia. The Southern N atural Gas Company has con tracted with the C entral Public Service Corporation whereby the latter com pany will buy natural gas to be distributed through the properties owned by them between A tlanta and M acon and between A tlanta and Chattanooga.
O ur inform ation is th a t th e n atu ral gas prodqced b y th e Southern N a tu ra l G as Com pany is of approxim ately 1000 B. T . U. h eat value and is very desirable for b o th domestic and industrial use, and when made available will result in very m aterial reductions in cost of gas service to consumers in Georgia.
Telephone Rates. There has been no general revision of statewide importance of telephone rates sub sequent to our last report. Several revisions have been made of the rates of independent telephone companies which only involve the local communities served by such companies.
MOTOR BUS REGULATION. Reference was made in our last annual report to the effort of the Commission to regulate motor buses on and over the highways in the State of Georgia. In said report it was shown th at the m atter was then before the Supreme Court on a question of juris diction, and recently the Supreme C ourt of Georgia has held th a t the Commission is with out jurisdiction to regulate motor buses or other forms of motor transportation on the highways in the State. T his conclusion was based on th e A ct of 1907 not specially des ignating this type of transportation, as coming under the jurisdiction of the Commission.
V II

This Commission has recommended for a long num ber of years the necessity of such regulation being provided, and as the years have passed the necessity for such legislation has correspondingly increased, u ntil now it is impossible to conceive th a t th e next Legis lature will fail to pass proper legislation in this respect- The reasons leading one to antici pate such are too obvious to be w orthy of record in this instance.
W ESTERN & ATLANTIC RAILROAD.
U nder the A ct of 1915, supervision o f th e railroad p roperty of the State, and the properties under lease in the C ity of Chattanooga, Tennessee, are placed under the Geor gia Public Service Commission.
The Commission has caused to be made a thorough inspection of the W estern & A tlantic R ailroad, and it is our opinion th a t th e road bed is in first class condition. T here can be no question as to the requirement of the lease Act, calling for the maintenance of the W estern & A tlantic Railroad to be at least equal to th at of first class railroads within the State of Georgia, being fully complied with.
There is about 60 miles o f m ain line, 110 pound rail now in use, w ith about 5 miles of second track. T here will be an additional 4 miles com pleted w ithin the next 12 m onths. This heavy, new rail extends beyond Cartersville from A tlanta, where the traffic is heaviest, on account of the connection with the Louisville & Nashville Railroad at Cartersville. The rem ainder of th e line is laid w ith 90 pound rail. I t will be only a com paratively short tim e until th e entire road will be laid w ith 110 pound rail.
Additions and betterm ents to Decem ber 31, 1928, am ount to $1,902,435.96. U nder the term s of the Lease A ct $3,000,000 is required to be expended for this account during the 50 year period of th e lease, and since only 9 years o f th e term of the lease have ex pired, it can be seen in w hat m anner th e road is being m aintained.
Reference was made in our last report to the progress of the construction of a new tunnel a t T unnel H ill, some 75 feet distan t, in an easterly direction, from th e old tunnel. This tunnel has been completed and is now in use. For m any years the old tunnel, due to size, has been inadequate to take care of a heavy movement of heavy freight, including some of the equipm ent o f th e lessee. This, of course, has been overcome in the comple tion of the new tunnel. T he new tunnel has cost approxim ately $500,000.
Based on the conclusion of expert railroad engineers there can be no question but th at the road bed and tracks of the Western & Atlantic Railroad are maintained in fully as good condition as the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway's own road bed be tween Chattanooga and Nashville.
I t is conservatively estim ated th a t this railroad, exclusive of non-railroad property in C hattanooga, is w orth $25,000,000.
Since our last report the Commission has approved complete plans for the construc tion of a modern and adequate passenger depot at the old passenger depot site in the City of Atlanta, but since the approval of said plans an effort has been put forth looking to the construction of a cold storage warehouse on the present passenger depot site, which if done, it is proposed to build substantially the same passenger depot on the west side of For syth Street on the State's property. While this m atter was under consideration it was proposed to provide passenger facilities other than on the State s prop-
V III

erty, viz: By securing permission to provide passenger facilities at the A tlanta Terminal Station, this the Commission declined to approve. N othing definite has been reached on the p art of the Commission with regard to this proposed change in location of the passenger depot from the present site to Forsyth Street bridge, but the Commis sion has felt th a t the m atter was of enough importance to give a reasonable time in which to determine just w hat can be accomplished, if anything, in this regard. O f course, be fore any such change in location under any condition, due notice will be given the public and opportunity provided for hearing thereon.
Reference was made in our last report to the construction of the viaducts over the S tate's property a t P ryor S treet an d C entral Avenue in A tlanta. T his work is now com plete. The C entral Avenue and the Pryor Street viaducts are now open for traffic.
In February, 1929, inform ation reached th e Commission th a t the sub-lessee of cer tain of the non-railroad property in Chattanooga had arranged, with the approval of the Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway, to open a street from M arket Street to Broad Street, to be an extension of 10th Street, through property owned by the State and under lease along w ith the railroad property. Im mediately information was given to the Chairm an of the W estern & A tlantic Railroad Commission, Hon. C. M urphey Candler, who advised th at in his opinion said Commission had completed all duties in tended to be performed in the creation of said Commission, and th a t a final report of its acts and doings had been made to the last Ceneral Assembly; th at the funds provided for the expense in the functioning of said Commission had been expended and th at there was no occasion for said Commission to handle the question presented in the proposed opening of said street, especially in view of the further fact th a t under the Lease Act of 1915 the Georgia Public Service Commission is given supervision over th e question.
Im mediately this conclusion was reached the Commission under the authority of the Lease A ct o f 1915, delegating to this Commission supervision o f this property, proceeded to handle this m atter and finally agreed th at since there was no effort' to condemn or dedicate the land for a street, but was proposed to be opened by virtue of the grant of an easement by said sublessee only to the extent of its interest m the land; th at by proper marking, by having imbedded in the pavement of the street to be opened, the words, "Private property, owned by the State of Georgia, tem porarily used. Said wording to be of brass and not less than one and one-half inches m depth and to be placed a t four points at or near each of the four corners of said pro posed street, set ten inches distant from the curb, and so arranged as to make said words most easily readable from one standing on the sidewalk nearest said marking, w ith the renewal of such marking from time to time, if necessary, so th at each of said four markers will be readable and in plain view a t all tim e ; and th a t th e B oard o f Commissioners o f the City of Chattanooga should, by proper resolutions, acknowledge th at its rights in th j land occupied by said new street are only such as have been conferred by the grant of the sub-lessee; th a t it thus has only the right to use said land as a street during the rem ain der of the term of the existing lease by the State of Georgia to the Nashville, C hatta nooga & St. Louis Railway Company, and the City agreeing to make no claim to said land, as against the State of Georgia, a t the term ination of said lease, by reason of having opened and m aintained said street. Resolutions in accordance w ith the foregoing were so passed by said B oard o f Commissioners on Tuesday, M arch 5, 1929.
IX

R EC O M M EN D A TIO N S The law requires the Commission to recommend from time to time such legislation as in its opinion is desirable. As above referred to the Commission has been held to be without jurisdiction over motor transportation on the highways in Georgia. This form of transportation over the highways has become real; the regulation of such transportation is now imperative. The Commission earnestly commends to the wisdom of the next Legislature to convene in Georgia, w hat, in the opinion of the Commission, is a m atter of great concern to the people of the State, and th at proper legislation providing for reasonable and just regula tion of the rates and service of this new type of transportation should be prom ptly and favorably acted upon. I f you realize th at in the short period of tw enty years the nation has expended in road construction and motor transportation, including all types of ser vice, more m oney th a n is invested in all railroad property, including road bed and equip ment, throughout the nation, and th at we now have a new and complete competitive common carrier system, the question of necessity for regulation is not one to adm it of argum ent. A ttached hereto is a com parative statem ent o f operations of utilities reporting to the Georgia Public Service Commission, during th e years 1927-1928.

File 16422 IN R E : Rates on C otton Seed Hulls between Points in Georgia.
Rule Nisi. Before the Georgia Public Service Commission.

To all Carriers in Georgia:

B y O rder, d ated A pril 22nd, effective July 1st, 1927, D ocket 16309, th e Commission revised the rates on fertilizer and fertilizer materials, carload and less carload, between

all points within the State of Georgia, and adopted, w ith some slight modification, the

rates and commodity description adopted by the Interstate Commerce Commission in its D ocket 16295. Included in the list of commodities taking fertilizer rates, is cotton Seed hulls. Prior to July 1st, 1927, cotton seed hulls were ra te d as Class " P ," carload

minimum 25,000 pounds. On July 7th, 1927, th e C o tto n Seed C rushers' Association of Georgia filed com plaint
with the Commission against the fertilizer rates, as being applied to cotton seed hulls,

and m any inform al com plaints o f th e sam e character have been received by th e commis*

sion. Evidence was subm itted a t the hearing th a t subsequent to July 1st, 1927, the rates
on cotton seed hulls between points in Georgia have been higher than in the States of N orth Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, and shippers' witnesses testified

th a t the present rates cause an economic loss to the m anufacturers and shippers of cotton

seed hulls in Georgia.

^

The Interstate Commerce Commission is, a t this time, under its D ocket 17,000

P a rt 8, conducting a general investigation of all in terstate rates on cotton seed and cotton

seed products, including the rates on cotton seed hulls. This Commission is represented

on a committee from the Southern State Commissions, co-operating w ith the Interstate Commerce Commission, in this general investigation, for the purpose of arriving a t proper

rates to be applied on these commodities, uniformly, throughout Southern territory.

In view of this general investigation, the Commission will not a t this tim e issue an order finally disposing of this m atter, but it is the opinion of the Commission th a t the present

rates are prejudicial to the shippers and receivers of cotton seed hulls within the State of Georgia, and th a t the rates in effect prior to July 1st, 1927, should be restored until

conclusions have been reached w ith regard to the general investigation now being con

ducted by the Interstate Commerce Commission in co-operation w ith the State Com

missions. I t is, therefore, O R D E R E D : T h at effective on and after December 15th, 1927, and until the further
order of the Commission, cotton seed hulls be, and are hereby required to be cancelled

from the list of articles on which the fertilizer and fertilizer m aterial rates apply, as pre scribed April 22nd, 1927, effective July 1st, 1927, in D ocket 16309, and th a t all rates on

cotton seed hulls in effect prior to the effective date of said order be and are hereby restored^

In re

Petition of all Georgia Carriers for Approval of Revision of Class Rates, and Cancellation of Exceptions to Classification and Cancellation of Less Carload Commodity Rates.

Submitted November 8th, 1927. 120

Decided December 7th, 1927.

File 16415.
IN R E : Petition of all Georgia Carriers for Revision of Class R ates--Cancellation of Exceptions to Classification and Cancellation of Less Carload Commodity Rates.
The petition of all Freight Tariff Class A carriers, except the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company, was filed by Charles Barham , Chairm an, Southern Freight Associa tion; the petition of all Freight Tariff Class B lines, except some individual lines, was filed by J. A. Streyer, Traffic M anager, American Short Line Railway Association, the petition filed by M r. Streyer being identical with petitions filed by other Freight Tariff Class B lines.
The petition of all Freight Tariff Class A lines, except the Seaboard Air Line Rail way Company, asks approval of Class Rates authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission in its D ocket 13494, known as the "Appendix K-2 S cale/' for application interstate throughout Southern territory. The petition of the Seaboard Air Line Rail way Company also seeks approval of w hat is known as Appendix K-2 Scale, b u t in addi tion thereto, seeks approval of certain arbitraries to be used in constructing rates for a movement over two or more lines, known as joint line arbitraries.

All Freight Tariff Class B carriers seek approval of the Appendix K-2 Scale, plus proposed arbitraries for single and joint line movement between Freight Tariff Class A and Freight Tariff Class B lines.

All carriers, both Freight Tariff Class A and Freight Tariff Class B, ask authority to cancel, w ith b u t few exceptions, all Exceptions to the Classification on commodities rated from Classes 1 to "D ," inclusive, in Southern Classification, and also ask authority to cancel all less carload commodity rates, w ith some designated modifications.

Effective M ay 1st, 1923, b y proper order of this Commission, all Class R ates be tween points in Georgia were revised, and a t this tim e the Commission also revised the classification of the various railroads in Georgia making two groups of railroads, Freight Tariff Class A lines, consisting of the trunk lines, and Freight Tariff Class B lines, con sisting of w hat are known as the short or weak lines. The rates prescribed in this order provide for the application of continous mileage rates over one or more lines, the order providing for certain arbitraries or differentials for joint line movement over two or more lines, or between Freight Tariff Class A and Freight Tariff Class B lines.

Subsequent to the order of this Commission revising the Class Rates between points in Georgia, the Interstate Commerce Commission instituted its general investigation of all interstate Class Rates in Southern Classification territory, including the rates between C entral Freight Association territory and Southeastern territory, and between Eastern territory and Southeastern territory, except the rates from Eastern territory to Carolina territory. The investigation of the Interstate Commerce Commission was conducted under w hat is known as th e " co-operative plan," and a com m ittee of S tate Commissioners representing the Southern States assisted the Interstate Commerce Commission in the

121

conduct of the .case, and also,.held various conferences, w ith th e In te rsta te Commerce Commission ,in th e disposition p.f the case, th e purpose o f the, co-operative plan between the Interstate Commerce Commission and S tate Commissions being obvious,, to harmonize, as far as practicable, .interstate, and intrastate rates. Chairm an Perry, of this Commis sion, served as Chairm an of the co-operative committee of State Commissioners.
O ur order of M ay 1st, 1923, authorized, w ith b u t few exceptions, the cancellation of all ratings in the Georgia Classification on commodities classified from Classes 1 to "D ," inclusive, or higher, and applied in lieu thereof ratings provided for in Southern Classification- Subsequent to this Order the Commission has made a few Exceptions to Southern Classification, these Exceptions being due largely to the effect on Georgia intra state traffic of less carload interstate commodity rates between Georgia points and points in other States. Some Exceptions were made on, account of w hat, in th e opinion of the Commission, were unreasonably high ratings carried in Southern Classification.
The Commission has also prescribed in some instances less carload commodity rates, which in most instances are due to similar rates being published by carriers on interstate traffic. .
A t the hearing the carriers requested th at for the present no consideration be given to their petition for the cancellation of less carload commodity rates, it being the pur pose of the carriers to hold conferences with shippers' representatives in an effort to reach some m utual agreement in regard to this part of their petition.
It is the opinion of the Commission th at the Exceptions to the Classification and less carload comm odity rates are so closely related to both inter and intrastate traffic, th a t these subjects should be dealt with jointly in the conferences between the carriers and shippers. I t is the opinion of the Commission th a t to authorize the cancellation of Exceptions to the Classification or the less carload commodity rates, w ithout a t the same tim e cancelling all less carload comm odity rates on interstate traffic, would do violence to the Georgia shipping interests.
The relationship of the Class R ates subm itted by the carriers is somewhat different to th a t used b y the Commission in its order effective M ay 1st, 1923, b u t a careful study indicates there is no great difference in the general level of the rates proposed by the carriers and the present rates, except the joint line differentials proposed by the Seaboard A it Line Railway Company. The Interstate Commerce Commission, having found as reasonable, the Appendix K-2 Scale, for application both single and joint line, it would not be consistent for the Seaboard Air Line Railw ay C om pany or any other carrier irt Georgia to apply rates higher than the interstate scale on intrastate traffic. The purpose of the co-operation between the Interstate Commerce Commission and the State Com? missions being to arrive a t uniform rates, as far as practicable, this purpose would be defeated.
The Interstate Commerce Commission, in its D ocket 13494, found as reasonable certain arbitraries or differentials to be added to Appendix K-2 Scale in constructing rates between points in Southern territory and points in Florida, South of the Jackson ville-River Junction line, this scale of differentials being known as Appendix L-2. The Interstate Commerce Commission stated, in its opinion, th a t similar differentials m ay be used in constructing rates by the short or weak lines. The petition of the Freight Tariff Class B lines seeks approval, for intrastate application in Georgia, for single and joint line
122

movement, differentials approximately 150% of the Appendix L-2 scale, and for joint line movement between Freight Tariff Class A and Freight Tariff Class B lines, differen tials approximately 250% of the Appendix L-2 Scale. An analysis of the present rates and the rates proposed by the Freight Tariff Class B lines, shows th a t the carriers' pro posal will result in both increases and decreases, b u t, in the opinion of the Commission, the rates proposed by the carriers will approxim ately preserve their present revenues.
There was no protest on the part of the shipping interests against the rates proposed by either the Freight Tariff Class A lines o r the Freight T ariff Class B lines, except th a t all interests represented, protested the proposal of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company. All shipping interests represented at the hearing protested the cancellation of Exceptions to the Classification, and the cancellation of less carload comm odity rates until such time as they could have the opportunity of making a complete analysis of the proposal, and suggested th a t action on th a t part of the carriers proposal be withheld for at least sixty days.
At the hearings the carriers requested th at they be perm itted to publish the proposed revised rates in a Common Tariff, and to make groups of origins and destinations at dis tances more th a n 150 miles. N o objections were offered b y shippers' interests to this proposal of the carriers.
Upon consideration of th e record in the above stated case, and of the evidence and argum ents subm itted a t the hearings had thereon, it is
O R D E R E D : T h at the petition to cancel Exceptions to the Classification and to cancel commodity rates, for the present, be and it is hereby denied. This part of the petition will be assigned for another hearing, the date and tim e of which will be announced later.

A t l a n t a , G a ., M arch 13th, 1928.
File 16384.
P E T IT IO N : Charles Barham, Chairman, representing all Carriers, mem bers Southern Freight Association and Petition--Southern Railway, for Re vision of Rates on Chert, Sand, Gravel, Slag and Crushed Stone between Points in Georgia.
B y O rder, dated F ebru ary 25th, 1925, effective April 1st, 1925, th e Commission approved the general revision of all rates on chert, gravel, sand, stone, etc., between points in Georgia, Section 5'of this Order m aking the following provision:
"O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : (5) All carriers are authorized to cancel all class and comm odity rates th a t are lower than the commodity rate schedules and classification ratings provided in this Order and observe as a maximum the commodity rate schedules and classification ratings authorized herein, ex cept th a t in no instance shall the rates on the commodities covered by this Order be higher, between any points in Georgia than the interstate rates contem poraneously in effect on the same commodities between points in Georgia and points in other States, for the same or greater distance, over the same line or lines, the haul between the Georgia points being included in the longer interstate haul."
The effect of the above stated Order was to increase very m aterially the rates on these m aterials between points in Georgia where the preponderance of the movement was taking place, and in order for the carriers to take advantage of the increased rates approved, and comply w ith Section 5, it was necessary th a t th ey increase m an y of the then existing interstate rates from points in other States to points in Georgia. Carriers subm itted a petition to the Commission for suspension of the effective date of its Order on the grounds th a t they did not have sufficient time to make the necessary revision of the interstate rates to bring them in line with the intrastate rates approved, where upon we suspended the application of Section 5 u n til A ugust 1st, 1925.
C ertain Georgia carriers filed formal complaint w ith the In terstate Commerce Com mission against the Georgia in tra sta te rates, alleging discrim ination under Section 13 of the Interstate Commerce Act, this complaint being followed by complaints from certain shipping interests in Alabama and Tennessee, and as a result the Interstate Commerce Commission b y its Order, D ocket 17517, et al, required all carriers in Georgia to become parties to the proceeding for the purpose of determining whether or not the Georgia rates caused undue discrimination against interstate commerce. The investigation of the In terstate Commerce Commission resulted in its O rder dated Jan u ary 21st, 1927, 122 I. C. C. 133. T he carriers' petition, which we now have before us, is for approval of th e rates prescribed b y the In te rsta te Commerce Commission in its D ocket 17517, et al, 122 I. C. C. 133. A t pages 169 an d 170, th e In te rsta te Commerce Commission stated :
" The changes in rates both intrastate within Georgia and interstate to Geor gia brought about by th e Georgia Commission's O rder o f F eb ru ary 25th, 1925, have been fully discussed. We have been impressed with w hat appears to us to
132

have been the broad-minded attitude taken by the Georgia Commission when it undertook the revision of these rates which resulted in its Order of February 25th, 1925. T his O rder as we have seen resulted in raising m any depressed in tra state rates applying between im portant producing and consuming points, and subsequently had the effect of bringing about substantial increases in im portant depressed interstate rates. Considering the results brought about by this Order it could not be found from this record to have brought about a rate situation which has in the past been unjustly discriminatory against interstate commerce. We are, however, in these proceedings approving a distance scale of rates for ap plication alike to the interstate transportation of all of the commodities here considered. T here is of course no transportation reason for th e m aintenance of a different basis of intrastate rates on these commodities within Georgia than th at herein found reasonable for intrastate transportation. However, in view of the attitude taken by the Georgia Commission in the past which we have adverted to we do not now deem it necessary to make any finding or enter any Order in No. 17517 for the future in so far as un ju st discrim ination against in terstate commerce is there involved, because it is felt th a t th e Georgia Commission will co-operate in authorizing such revisions as m ay be necessary to bring their rates into harm ony with the interstate adjustm ent herein approved."
We are in accord with the views of the Interstate Commerce Commission th a t the intrastate rates should not cause undue discrimination against interstate commerce, neither should interstate rates result in undue discrimination against intrastate com merce, and w ith this end in view, it is th e purpose of this Commission to prescribe such rates as will perm it of free movement and competition both inter and intrastate.
The rates which we prescribed on sand, unwashed gravel and chert, effective April 1st, 1925, were slightly lower th a n th e rates which we approved on washed gravel, crushed stone and slag. However, the rates which were prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission in its D ocket 17517 provide for the same rates on all these commodities, the general level of the single line rates being approxim ately the same as the rates which we prescribed on crushed stone, slag and washed gravel. The rates which we prescribed provided for a joint line differential for hauls over two or more lines for distances under 100 miles, whereas th e rates prescribed by th e In te rsta te Commerce Commission in D ocket 17517 provide for a jo in t line differential for all distances under 480 miles.
The investigation which we have made shows very keen competition between the producers of all these materials at the principal markets, both inter and intrastate, the producers in Georgia coming in direct competition with the producers in Alabama, Ten nessee and South Carolina. In our opinion, to approve the gradation of the scale pre scribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission would work great injury and damage to shippers and carriers on Georgia intrastate traffic, and for th a t reason we are pre scribing a revised scale, in order th a t all interests m ay be preserved.
In Southern Class R ate Investigation 113 I. C. C. 200, rates on Fertilizers and F er tilizer M aterial between points in Southeastern Territory I. C. C. Docket 16295, South ern Cement Rates I. C. C. 15806 and Georgia Peach Growers' Exchange, et al, Docket 16462, the Interstate Commerce Commission did not provide for a differential to be added for joint line movement over two or more lines. I t is our opinion th a t the principles,
133

with regard to joint line rates, as laid down by the Interstate Commerce Commission in these cases are entirely proper, and it is our conclusion th a t this principle should prevail in this case.
Should we approve the joint line differentials for application intrastate in Georgia which have been approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission for interstate ap plication in D ocket 17517, it would result in discrim ination betw een th e producers of these m aterials within the State of Georgia, and would place the producers in Georgia at a great disadvantage with their competitors in the States of Alabama and Tennessee, this condition being brought about on account of the location of the producing plants in Georgia, and the necessity for joint line movement to points of consumption th a t are reached by single line movement from producing points in other States. The rates which we are approving in the following Order, in our opinion, are ju st and reasonable, and will not be preferential to Georgia producers, or result in undue discrimination against interstate producers. I t is, therefore,
O rdered: (1) T h a t effective on and after M ay 1st, 1928, and u n til th e fu rth er Order of this Commission, the rates shown in Appendix A, attached hereto, and made a part of this Order, shall be the maximum rates to be charged by Freight Tariff Class

134

R ate Table No. 5. To joint line application between points within this State, located on one or more of the severally named railroads in Freight Tariff Class "B ."

IN RE:

Petition--Charles Barham , Chairm an, Southern Freight Association, repre senting all Freight Tariff; Class "A" Railroads (except Southern Railway), B. G. Brown, Freight M anager, Southern Railway, J. H . K etner, Assistant Freight Traffic M anager, Seaboard Air Line Railway, and J. A. Streyer, Traffic M anager, representing all Freight Tariff Class "B" railroads, for ap proval of Revision of Rates on Cement, carload, between points in Georgia.

By the Commission:

A t the present tim e cement, carload, is classified as taking th e Class L ' rating, subject to a carload minimum weight of 20,000 pounds. The present Class L rate in the Standard Tariff of the Commission for distances from 5 miles to 300 miles has been in effect since 1888, and th e present Class "L " rate o f th e S tan d ard T ariff for all dis tances has been in effect since 1892. T he present percentage above th e Class ` L S tan d ard Tariff rate allowed the different railroads, as classified by the Commission, w ith but few exceptions, has been in effect since 1897.

In 1916 the railroads in Georgia petitioned th e Commission for a general revision of all rates, including the rates on cement, and after extended hearings the Commission issued an order, to become effective in April, 1908, which m ade a complete revision of all rates. The effective date of this order was later suspended indefinitely on account of practically all the railroads being taken over and operated by the Federal Government as a w ar m easure. Effective June 25th, 1918, b y order of the D irector G eneral of R ail roads of the U nited States Railroad Administration, all-rates on cement were increased two cents per hundred pounds for all distances. The order of the Director General in creased the Class "L" rate 25% and thus, on account of the cement rates being increased b y a specific am ount, cem ent was rem oved from the Commission's Class "L " rating, and specific commodity rates were established.

On July 14t.h, 1921, citation was issued requiring all carriers to subm it to th e C om mission schedules of rates on all classes and commodities, the effect of which would remove existing discriminations and would preserve the carriers' revenues in the aggregate. After verv extended hearings, the Commission subm itted to carriers and shippers schedules of tentative rates on cement, inviting constructive criticism, which was had before the Commission on November 26th, 1923. A fter receiving th e criticism subm itted by shippers and carriers, it was brought to the attention of the Commission th a t the Interstate Com merce Commission would institute a general investigation of all interstate cement rates throughout Southern territory. This investigation by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion was had under its D ocket 15806, and was conducted under w hat is known as the " co-operative plan" w ith a committee representing the Southern State Commissions. The investigation of the Interstate Commerce Commission resulted in its order dated N ovem ber 14th, 1927, and th e rates which th e Georgia carriers are here asking approved are the rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission for interstate applica tion, except the petition of the Seaboard Air Line Railway seeks approval of a differential

139

to be added in constructing joint line rates, which was not approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
A t this time there are three plants producing cement in Georgia, located a t Clinchfield, Portland and R ochm art, Georgia. R epresentatives of these p lants appeared a t th e hearings and expressed approval of the carriers' petition. Representatives of various shippers organizations appeared and expressed no objections to the carriers' petition except as to the minimum carload weight, other than the representative of the Crisp County Board of Trade, et al, who suggested th a t the rates which the carriers petitioned for were too high for distances up to 150 to 200 miles, and too low for distances above 200 miles.
Representatives of shippers, while offering no opposition to the rates petitioned for, predicated on a carload minimum of 50,000 pounds, contended th a t the minimum of 50,000 pounds would be a hardship on the dealer or consumer located a t th e sm all towns and th a t a less minimum w ith a higher rate should be provided to take care of this situa tion. I t was shown th a t while cement will easily load more th a n 50,000 pounds per car, and such a minimum would be entirely satisfactory to the dealer or distributor located at the larger distributing points in receiving cement from the producing point, on the other hand, it could not be used to advantage in making distribution to the smaller com m unity.
Petitioners' E xhibit No. 4, which is a statem en t o f th e actual carload m ovem ent of cement from Clinchfield, Georgia, to destinations in Georgia during the m onth of January, 1928, shows a to ta l o f 173 cars. 29 o f these cars contained less th a n 50,000 pounds and 28 cars contained less th an 30,000 pounds. The cars containing 50,000 pounds or more, for the most part were destined to the larger consuming centers or to points where it is known th a t large contracts for construction exist. We are convinced from the information shown in this Exhibit and th at subm itted by protestants, th at there is justification for a m inim um of less th a n 50,000 pounds, necessary to meet th e require ments of the small trade.
The petition of the Seaboard Air Line Railway for a higher rate for joint line move ment than approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission for interstate application, if approved, would create to th a t extent higher intra state rates in Georgia than the Seaboard Air Line Railw ay will operate in terstate from points in other states to points m Georgia.
I t is therefore,
O R D E R E D : T hat the petition of the Seaboard Air Line Railway for approval of joint differentials for constructing rates on cement over two or more lines be, and is hereby denied.
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : (1) T h a t effective on and after June 1st, 1928, and until the further Order of this Commission, the rates shown in Appendix A, attached hereto, and made a part of this order, shall be the maximum rates to be charged by Freight Tariff Class "A" and Freight Tariff Class "B" railroads between points wholly within the State of Georgia, and to be used and applied by each of the railroads operating w ith in the S tate o f Georgia, in the m anner and as hereinafter directed.

Also between points located on one or more F reight T ariff Class "A " railroads when the short line distance is constructed in connection with the Macon, D ublin & Savannah Railroad, and, or, th e W rightsville & Tennille Railroad, and the rate so con structed is lower th a n provided for in th e application of R ate Tables Nos. 1,2 or 3.
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : (4) T h a t on or before th e effective d ate of this Order, all class and commodity rates between points within this S tate th a t are higher than the rate schedules an d classification ratings provided for in this Order shall be cancelled, and the rate schedules and classification ratings provided in this Order observed as a maximum.
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : (5) All carriers are authorized to cancel all rates on the commodities herein provided for th a t are lower than the rate schedule and classification ratings provided in this Order and observe as a maximum the rate

P etition In terstate .Amiesite C om pany to prescribe R ates on (Amiesite)

Road-building Materials.

By the Commission:
Amiesite is a trade name adopted by the Interstate Amiesite Company, engaged in the manufacture of a road-building material, consisting approximately of 5% asphalt, 1% lime, 1% oil or tar, and approxim ately 93% crushed stone or crushed slag, which is applied directly to the road, without the use of a base or foundation. A t the present tune, this roadw ay mixture is not provided for in Southern Classification or in our Classi fication, and therefore, no, rates are provided for, except as m ay be arrived a t by the use of our Freight R ule N o. 30, which provides in th e case o f mixed cars for th e application of the highest rate and highest carload minimum of any article in a mixed car. This rule was not intended to apply to mixtures of the character under consideration.
At the hearing, it was stated by petitioners' representative they desired to have rates established in Georgia, as it is their purpose to establish one or more plants in the State, and develop the business on a large scale.
The rates which we are prescribing herein are m ade to apply to a roadway mixture, consisting of other m aterials than those used by the Interstate Amiesite Company, it being the opinion of the Commission th at the description of the mixture should be broad enough to include all classes of road-building m aterial th a t m ay possibly be used in a mixture of this character. The order provides for a mixture of not less than 91% stone, chert, sand, etc., when mixed or coated w ith not more than 8% asphalt, oil or tar, and 1% lime, all or any of which m ay be used. In other words, a mixture of 95% stone or sand, etc., and 5% asphalt and oil, or ta r, w ith no lime, m ay be used in th e mixture, or any am ount of asphalt and oil not exceeding 8% .
I t is therefore,
O R D E R E D : (1) T h a t effective on and after June 15th, 1928, and u ntil th e fu rth er Order of this Commission, the rates shown in Appendix A, attached hereto, and made a part of this Order, shall be the maximum rates to be charged by Freight Tariff Class
A and Freight T ariff Class <fB " railroads between points wholly w ithin th e S tate o f Georgia, and to be used and applied by each of the railroads operating within the State of Georgia, in the manner and as hereinafter directed.
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : (2) T h at the ratings provided for in this O rder shall be applied to all F reight T ariff Class '`A" and F reight T ariff C lass <rB" railroads, as designated in Appendix B, attached hereto, and made a part hereof.

R ate Table No. 5. To jo in t line application betw een points w ithin this State, located on one or more of the severally named railroads in Freight Tariff Class "B ."

O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : (4) T h a t on or before the effective d ate o f this Order, all class and commodity rates between points within this State th a t are higher than the rate schedules and classification ratings provided for in this Order shall be cancelled, and the rate schedules and classification ratings provided in this Order observed as a maximum.

O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : (5) All carriers are authorized to cancel all rates on the commodities herein provided for th a t are lower than the rate schedules and classi fication ratings provided in this Order and observe as a maximum the rate schedules and classification ratings authorized herein, except th a t in no instance shall the rates on the commodities covered by this Order be higher, between any points in Georgia than the interstate rates contemporaneously in effect on the same commodities between points in Georgia and points in other States, for the same or greater distance, over the same line or lines, the haul between the Georgia points being included in the longer interstate haul.

O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : (6) T he Commission's F reight R ule N o. 27 is hereby suspended, and superseded b y R ate T ables Nos. 2, 3 and 5, in constructing jo in t line rates on the commodities covered by this Order.

(2) Joint rates between F reight T ariff Class "A " an d F reight T ariff Class "B " railroads shall be divided by allowing the Freight Tariff Class "A" railroad the same revenue or proportion of the joint rate as it would receive in connection with a Freight Tariff Class "A " road, the rem ainder of the joint rate to accrue to the Freight Tariff Class "B " road or roads; Except, th at where the joint rate is m ade b y use of the F reight T ariff Class " B " scale and traffic is handled jo in tly by Freight Tariff Class "A " and Freight Tariff Class "B " roads, the Freight Tariff Class "B " road shall receive the same revenue or proportion of the joint rate as if the traffic had been handled jointly by Freight Tariff Class "B " roads, the rem ainder of th e jo in t ra te to accrue to th e F reight T ariff Class "A " road or roads.
(3) Joint rates betw een F reight T ariff Class " B " roads shall be divided in the same manner as provided for Freight Tariff Class "A" roads.
(4) The basis for th e division of rates provided for herein is n o t intended to prevent carriers from agreeing among themselves to the division of joint rates on any other basis th a t m ay be satisfactory to all parties concerned.
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : (8) T h a t when, by th e use o f th e schedules of rates authorized in this Order, rates are established between competitive points by a carrier or carriers, whose lines form the lowest rate m aking route, the carrier or carriers forming the longer distance, or higher rate making route, are perm itted to meet such competition, and to charge higher rates at interm ediate points, but in no instance shall rates be charged higher than for the single or joint line scale of rates authorized herein, for the actual distance, via the route making the lowest rate to, from, or between such interm ediate points. In instances where the carriers establish between any points, lower rates than authorized herein, no higher rates shall be charged a t any interm ediate point, without the approval of the Commission having first been obtained.

Petition J. E . Tilford, C hairm an, Southern Freight Association, B. G. Brown, Freight Traffic M anager, Southern Railway, J. H . K etner, A ssistant Freight Traffic M anager, Seaboard Air Line Railway, and J. A. Streyer, Traffic M ana ger, American Short Line R ailroad Association, for approval of revision of rates on sugar between Points in Georgia.

B y the Commission:

The above petition as to J. E. Tilford, Chairm an, Southern Freight Association, B. G. Brown,- Freight Traffic M anager, Southern R ailw ay, and J. A. Streyer, Traffic M anager, American Short Line Railroad Association, representing the Freight Tariff Class "B " railroads, is for approval of rates on sugar approved by the Interstate Com merce Commission in its D ocket No. 13569. T he petitio n o f th e Seaboard Air Line R ail way also seeks approval of the rates approved by the In te rsta te Commerce Commission b ut also asks to be perm itted to add certain arbitrarles or differentials to be applied to hauls over two or more lines. A t the hearing Traffic M anager Streyer requested his peti tion be amended and th at the Freight Tariff Class " B" railroads be perm itted to add a flat arbitrary of 5 cents per 100 pounds to th e rates prescribed for the Freight Tariff Class "A " railroads w ithout regard to th e distance over th e F reig h t T ariff Class " B " railroad. The petition as to all carriers seeks authority to cancel all less carload com m odity rates on sugar and apply in lieu thereof the 5th class rating as provided for in Southern Classification.
The In terstate Commerce Commission in its D ocket No. 13569 prescribed as reason able rates on sugar, carload minimum weight 40,000 pounds, 2 percent of the current first class rate, and found as reasonable the 5th class rate as provided for in Southern Classification on less carload shipments.
The present rates in Georgia were approved by this Commission effective November 15, 1923. A t the tim e th e present rates were m ade effective th e A merican Sugar Re finery Com pany located a t New Orleans, Louisiana, h ad filed w ith the In terstate Com merce Commission a complaint against the rates in Georgia alleging discrimination against interstate commerce. I t being claimed th a t the rate from Savannah to A tlanta and other large consuming points, as compared w ith th e rate from New Orleans, did not represent the proper sprad. Following the complaint of the American Sugar Refinery Company, various other complaints were filed involving th e inter and intrastate rates throughout Southern Territory. These various complaints resulted in a general investiga tion by th e In terstate Commerce Commission under its D ocket No. 13569 and related cases, "Southeastern Sugar Investigation/' This investigation was conducted under w hat is known as the co-operative plan w ith Southern S tate Commissions, the Georgia Commission being represented on the Comm ittee of Southern State Commissions co operating w ith the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The rates which we dre asked to approve represent b oth increases and decreases. The present rates in Georgia provide for the addition of an arbitrary where a two or more

151

line haul is involved, whereas the proposed rates do not provide for any arbitrary, the rate being the same either single or joint line haul, except as to the petition of the Sea board Air Line Railway. The present carload minimum weight in Georgia is 33,000 pounds, and the carload minim um weight proposed is 40,000 pounds.
At the hearing only one representative of the shippers' interests protested the grant ing of the carriers' petition, but this objector did not subm it any evidence or testim ony th a t would justify any lower rate or lower carload minimum weight to apply on shipments of sugar between points in Georgia and on shipments moving from other states to points in Georgia.
The purpose of the plan of co-operation between the Interstate Commerce Com mission and the several State Commissions is to, as far as practicable, provide for uniform rates both inter and intrastate in a general adjustm ent of rates on a commodity such as is involved in this proceeding.
I t is our opinion th a t the rates authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission in its D ocket No. 13569 are m axim um reasonable rates and th a t in approving same for intrastate appliction in Georgia we should not authorize any higher rates for any line or d epart from the general scheme of constructing the rates. I t is, therefore,
O R D E R E D : T hat the petition of the Seaboard Air Line Railway for authority to add a differential for jo in t line m ovem ent be, and is hereby, denied.
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : T hat the petition of J. A. Streyer, Traffic M anager, representing the Freight Tariff Class "B " railroads, for authority to add a flat differential o f 5 cents per 100 pounds to accrue to th e F reight T ariff Class " B " railroads be, and is hereby, denied.
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : T h a t effective A ugust 30th, 1928, and u ntil th e further order of this Commission, all railroads in Georgia are authorized to cancel all present carload rates on sugar and apply in lieu thereof rates predicated upon 27 yi. percent o f th e current first class rate, subject to a carload minim um weight of 40,000 pounds, all excess to be charged for in proportion.
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : T h a t effective A ugust 30, 1928, and u n til further order of this Commission, all carriers are authorized to cancel all specific less carload com m odity rates on sugar and apply in lieu thereof the current 5th class rate as provided for in Southern Classification.
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : T hat the purpose of the effective date of the rates au thorized herein is to make the rates between points in Georgia effective on the same date as the interstate rates between points in Georgia and points in other states, and if for any reason th e in terstate rates are n o t m ade effective on A ugust 30th, 1928, then the rates authorized herein shall not be made effective until such date as the interstate rates are made effective.

CORRECTED ORDER.
IN R E : Rates on Wooden Building M aterial between Points in Georgia.
This investigation resulted from complaint filed by the A ugusta Traffic Bureau' alleging discrim ination in rates on wooden building m aterial from A ugusta, Georgia, toGeorgia destinations, and intervening parties representing shippers at A tlanta, M acon, Rome, Columbus and other shipping points in Georgia.
Carriers subm itted a proposed schedule of rates predicated on 30 per cent of first class rate, or eighth class. R epresentatives of shippers' interests subm itted various sched-ules of rates and suggested th a t rates be prescribed on basis of 125 per cent of th e lum ber rates proposed b y th e carriers in th e Commission's D ocket 15416. C arriers also suggested the rates on wooden building m aterial published by the Southern Railway for interstate application in its tariff I. C. C. A-7893.
A t the present tim e there is no uniform ity of rates on wooden building m aterial between points in Georgia, the present commodity rates having been voluntarily estab lished by carriers from time to time and apparently each adjustm ent was made to meet some particular need. The record also shows there is a complete lack o f uniform ity of ra te s on wooden building material both inter and intrastate throughout the Southern territory.
The Commission is of the opinion th a t the present rates in Georgia should be revised and th a t rates be prescribed to be applied uniformly throughout the State. I t is th e opinion of the Commission th a t carriers have not justified the application of 8th class or 30 per cent of first class rate, neither is it th e opinion of th e Commission th a t th e scale of rates now published by the Southern Railway in its tariff I. C. C. A-7893 is so graded as to bring about propel relationship between the various shipping points, or pro vide a reasonable schedule o f rates. I t is, therefore,
O R D E R E D : T h at effective on and after January 1st, 1929, and until the fu rth er order of this Commission, the maximum rates to be charged by all railroads in Georgia on wooden building m aterial, as described in Appendix "A," attached hereto and m ade a p a rt of this order, shall be 9th class, or 25 per cent of the first class rate.
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : All carriers are authorized to cancel all com m odity rates th at are lower than the commodity rate schedules provided in this order and observe as a maximum the commodity rate schedules authorized herein, except th at in no in stance shall the rates ,,on th e commodities covered b y th is order be higher, betw een any points in Georgia than the interstate rates contemporaneously in effect on the same commodities between points in Georgia and points in other states, for the same or greater distance, over the same line or lines, the haul between the Georgia points being included in the longer interstate haul.
O R D ERED FU R T H ER : T hat if in any instance the application of Southern Classification ratings and carload minim um will produce a lower charge than the applica-
153

tion o f the commodity rate schedules authorized herein, said Southern Classification ratings -and carload minimum shall be applied as a maximum.
O R D ER ED FU R T H E R : T hat when, by the use of the schedules of rates au thorized in this order, rates are established between competitive points by a carrier or carriers, whose lines form the lowest rate making route, the carrier or carriers forming the longer distance, or higher rate making route, are perm itted to meet such competi tion, and to charge higher rates at interm ediate points, but in no instance shall rates be charged higher than for the single or joint line scale of rates authorized herein, for the actual distance, via the route making the lowest rate to, from, or between such interm edi ate points. In instances where the carriers establish between any points, lower rates than authorized herein, no higher rates shall be charged at any intermediate point, without the approval of the Commission having first been obtained.

IN RE:

Petition of J. E. Tilford, Chairm an, Southern Freight Association, and J. A. Streyer, Traffic M anager, American Short Line Railroad Association, for approval of revision of rates on iron or steel turpentine cups, with or w ithout aprons or hangers, nested or not nested, loose or in packages, carload minim um weight 30,000 pounds, and for authority to cancel all less than carload com m odity rates on this commodity and to apply class rates in lieu thereof.

The petition of the carriers is for approval of 3 2 ^ per cent of the first class rate pre scribed b y the Commission in D ocket 16415, effective Jan u ary 15, 1928, on iron or steel turpentine cups, carload minimum weight 30,000 pounds, and for authority to cancel all present less th an carload commodity rates on this commodity, and to apply in lieu of th e com m odity rates present class rates. T he carriers subm itted as reasons for filing the petition, decisions of the In terstate Commerce Commission in its D ockets 16942 And 17679, complaints of Lerio P atent C up Com pany and Mobile Steel Com pany against thejrates from M obile, Alabam a, to points in South Carolina, G eorgia an d Florida.

Turpentine cups are not used in all sections of the State of Georgia, their use being confined principally to th a t section of the State south of the line from Augusta, Georgia, via the Georgia Railroad to M acon and the C entral of Georgia Railway from M acon to G eorgetow n, Georgia, a t th e A labam a state line, an d th e principal m ovem ent is from Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia. The record shows th a t turpentine cups are m anu factured a t Brunswick, Georgia, Mobile, Alabama, and Cincinnati, Ohio, and while there is a large movement from Savannah, the shippers a t Savannah secure their supplies from these points of manufacture.

Turpentine cups are essential to the turpentine industry, and the State of Georgia is one of the largest producing states of turpentine in the United States. Some of the larger turpentine operators purchase their cups in carload quantities direct from the manufacturer. On the other hand, there are m any of the smaller turpentine operators, or turpentine farmers, who are furnished with cups by the naval store factors at Sav annah and Brunswick. In any event the cups are paid for by the turpentine farmer o r operator.

Traffic representatives of shippers and naval store operators offered no serious ob jections to the approval of carload rates on turpentine cups, but did object to the can cellation of the present less carload commodity rates.

T he Commission now has before it in D ocket 16415, petition of all carriers for a u th o rity to cancel less carload commodity rates on all commodities, with few exceptions, And this petition is now being held open on the docket pending negotiations between th e carriers and shippers, w ith the view of determining the reasonableness of the present classification ratings and no reason has been presented as to why the less carload rates on turpentine cups should be given any different treatm ent than the less carload commodity fates on other commodities and, therefore, the petition of the carriers for authority to cancel all less carload commodity rates on turpentine cups will be held in abeyance pend in g th e disposition of carriers' petition in D ocket 16415.

158

We are of th e opinion th a t th carload com m odity rates on tu rpentine cups are in need of revision and should be made uniform throughout the State and it is the opinion of the Commission th a t the rates authorized herein are just and reasonable and will re move any existing discriminations between shippers and consignees within the State of Georgia and will not cause any unjust disci im ination against in terstate commerce. It is, therefore,
O R D E R E D : T h at effective on and after January 15th, 1929, and until the further order of this Commission, the maximum rates to be charged by all railroads in Georgia, on iron and steel turpentine cups, with or without aprons or hangers, nested or not nested, loose or in packages, carload m inim um weight 30,000 pounds, shall be 8th class or 30 per cent of the first class rate*
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : All carriers are authorized to cancel all class rates and commodity rates th a t are lower than the commodity rate schedules provided in this order and observe as a maximum the commodity rate schedules authorized herein, except th a t in no instance shall the rates on the commodities covered by this order be higher between any points in Georgia than the interstate rates contemporaneously in effect on the same commodities between points in Georgia and points in other states, for the same or greater distance, over the same line or lines, the haul between the Georgia points being included in the longer interstate haul.
O R D ER ED FU R T H E R : T hat when, by the use of the schedules of rates au thorized in this order, rates are established between competitive points by a carrier or carriers, whose lines form the lowest rate making route, the carrier or carriers forming the longer distance, or higher rate making route, are perm itted to meet such competition, and to charge higher rates at interm ediate points, but in no instance shall rates be charged higher than for the single or joint line scale of rates authorized herein, for the actual dis tance, via the route making the lowest rate to, from, or between such interm ediate points. In instances where the carriers establish between any points, lower rates th an authorized herein, no higher rates shall be charged at any interm ediate point, without the approval of the Commission having first been obtained.

IN RE:

Application of all Steam Railroads in Georgia for authority to make effective on A ugust 26th, 1920, th sam e percentage of advances an d th e same increases in all intra-state rates, fares and charges within this State, as have been au thorized and perm itted by the Interstate Commerce Commission in respect to interstate rates, fares and charges of carriers operating in Southern Group, as defined and set forth by the Interstate Commerce Commission in proceeding before it, designated as Ex P arte 74.

An informal hearing and conference with representatives of carriers, shippers, Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce and Traffic Bureaus in respect to the above mentioned application, after due notice to the public, was held by this Commission on August 17th. There has been filed w ith the Commission stenographic reports of the evidence before the Interstate Commerce Commission and copies of its report and order in the m atter. A member of this Commission attended the hearings by the Interstate Commission and has reported thereon to this Commission.
This Commission is satisfied from th e record, th a t because o f increased costs of operations arising out of advances in wages and in the prices of materials, supplies aud
170

equipm ent, and the apparent decreased purchasing power of the dollar, as also the neces sity arising o u t of th e m an d ato ry provisions o f th e Federal T ran sp o rtatio n A ct o f 1920 requiring for the tim e being such rates, fares and charges as will earn, w ith honest, econo mical and efficient management and reasonable expenditures for maintenance of way, structures and equipm ent, an aggregate annual net railway operating income, equal as nearly as m ay be to six per cent, per annum on the aggregate value of the railway prop erty of such carriers held for and used in transportation service, operating revenues in excess of those produced by existing rates, fares and charges, must be provided.
I t is also convinced th a t there is im m ediate need of such additional revenues in order th a t more efficient transportation services m ay be afforded to the public a t the earliest possible date. The reasons requiring increases in rates applying on interstate traffic seemingly require similar treatm ent of the rates on intrastate traffic.
Upon consideration therefore of the original and supplemental applications and o f the record and exhibits therew ith subm itted, it is
O R D E R E D : T hat all intra-state rates, fares and charges now applying over the lines of steam railroads subject to the jurisdiction of this Commission, m ay be in creased as indicated below, to w it:
F reight R ates a n d C harges.
All freight rates and charges, switching charges, and charges for transit, weighing, diversion, reconsignment, lighterage, floatage, storage (not including track storage) and transfer (where carriers provide separate charges against shippers for such ser vices) m ay be increased tw enty-five (25% ) per cent., except as to brick, cotton an d cotton linters, the rates on which shall continue as now.
A n d except, th e m inim um charge of fifty cents on less th a n carload shipm ents, and the minimum charge of fifteen dollars per car on carload shipments, which shall remain as now.
Etc. P a s s e n g e r F a r e s , E x c e s s B a g g a g e C h a r g e s ,
1. A lt passenger fa res an d charges m ay be increased tw en ty (20%) per cent., ex cept as indicated below. The term "passenger fares" include standard local or inter line fares, excursion, convention and other fares for special occasions; commutation and other multiple forms of tickets; extra fares on limited trains; club car charges.
2. Excess baggage rates m ay be increased tw en ty (20% ) per cent., provided th a t where stated as a percentage of or dependent upon passenger fares the increase in the latter will autom atically effect the increase in the excess baggage rates. (
3. A surcharge upon passengers in sleeping and parlor cars m ay be made am ount ing to fifty (50%) per cent, of the charge for space in such cars, such charges to be col lected in connection with the charge for space, and to accrue to the rail carriers.
M ilk a n d C r e a m C h a r g e s .
M ilk and Cream are usually carried on passenger trains, and the revenue there from is not included in freight revenue. Rates on these commodities m ay be increased tw enty (20%) per cent.
171

D isposition o f F r a c t i o n s .
Freight Rules E ig h t (8) an d tw enty-seven (27) of th is Commission shall apply in the disposition of fractions occurring in any computation hereunder.

P assenger F are E xceptions.

The increase of tw enty per cent, in passenger fares, as provided in Paragraph One (1) above, shall not apply on roads in " Special G roup" o f th is Commissions " Passenger T ariff Classification of R ailroads" now authorized to charge five (5) cents per mile, nor on other roads in said classification in excess o f a m axim um fare of five (5) cents per mile, five (5) cents per mile being th e m axim um passenger fare intended herein to be authorized on any railroad in this State.

The increases and advances herein authorized m ay be made effective on and after Septem ber 1st, 1920, by the filing an d publication of blan k et supplem ents n o t less th a n three days in advance of effective date.

Comm utation and other multiple forms of tickets sold prior to this date shall be honored within their limits.

T he prom ulgation of the foregoing order in no wise precludes this Commission of its own initiative or upon complaint, from consideration and such action as to it seems reasonable and just, touching any classification, rate, fare, charge, rule or regulation relating to, controlling or affecting Georgia intrastate freight or passenger traffic.

IN RE:

Application of all Steam Railroads in Georgia for authority to make effective on A ugust 26th, 1920, th e same percentage o f advances and th e same increases in all intra-state rates, fares and charges, w ithin th is State, as have been au* thorized and perm itted by the Interstate Commerce Commission in respect to interstate rates, fares and charges of carriers operating in Southern Group, as defined and set forth by the Interstate Commerce Commission in proceed ing before it, designated as E x P a rte 74.

W hereas, on July 29th, 1920, th e In te rsta te Commerce Commission entered an order in the rate proceeding known as Ex P arte 74, authorizing the railroads to increase the then existing interstate rates, fares and charges between all points in the United States.

172

A nd whereas, on August 24th, 1920, upon application of Georgia Carriers and after hearing from both carriers and shippers, this Commission issued its orders authorizing all Steam Railroads subject to the jurisdiction of this Commission to increase all freight rates and charges on intrastate traffic twenty-five (25%) per cent., "except as to brick, cotton and cotton linters, the rates on which were to rem ain as on th a t date;
And whereas, the said railroads thereafter petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission to remove an alleged discrimination, as to said excepted commodities, against interstate commerce arising out of lower rates applicable under the above mentioned order of this Commission than applicable on interstate traffic under the said order in Ex Parte 74;
And whereas, the Interstate Commerce Commission upon consideration, found and declared the rates on said commodities as prescribed by this Commission unjustly discrim inatory and prejudicial as against interstate traffic therein and directed the said railroads to remove the said discrimination by charging and collecting on intrastate traffic on said commodities the rates and charges prescribed in said order in Ex P arte 74 as to intrastate traffic;
And whereas, the Supreme C ourt of the U nited States has declared orders similar to the said last mentioned order of the Interstate Commerce Commission as to intra state rates, to be within the power and authority conferred on it under the Federal Trans portation Act of 1920;
Therefore upon fu rth er consideration, it is,
O R D E R E D : T h a t th e order of th is Commission under d ate o f A ugust 24th, 1920, as above mentioned be and the same is hereby amended by striking therefrom the words
except as to brick, cotton and cotton linters, the rates on which shall continue as now," so th a t the paragraph so amended shall read as follows: "All freight rates and charges, switching charges and charges for transit, weighing, diversion, reconsignment, lighterage, floatage, storage (not including track storage) and transfer (where carriers provide sep arate charges against shippers for such services) m ay be increased twenty-five (25%) per cent."
The purpose of this order is to give the approval of this Commission to the applica tion on brick, cotton and cotton linters moving between points wholly within the State o f Georgia of th e tw enty-five (25% ) per cent, increase authorized in said E x P a rte 74 of the Interstate Commerce Commission as to brick, cotton and cotton linters;
O R D E R E D F U R T H E R : T h at the freight tariffs published and filed, and now being applied for the transportation of brick, cotton and cotton linters, between points w ithin the State of Georgia, in accordance w ith the provision o f Ex P arte 74, and held valid under the Federal T ransportation A ct o f 1920, as construed by th e Suprem e C ourt of the U nited States in the Wisconsin case, be and they are hereby approved.

DIRECTIONS FOR COMPUTING RATES
For the benefit of those who m ay not be fam iliar w ith the subject, the following directions are given for the com putation of rates from the Classification and Tariff of the Commission, contained in this volume.
This can best be done by actual example:--Take, for instance, a shipment of brick, less carload, weighing 500 pounds, from Savannah to Tennille, Ga. Tennille being on the line of the Central of Georgia, we tu rn to the distance tables of th a t company, page 252, where the distance from S avannah to Tennille is shown to be 135 miles. Turning to page 183, a classified list of railroads in Georgia is found, th e C entral being in Class C ; and on th e opposite page, 184, we find th a t on several classes o f freight all roads in Class C are allowed to add 25 per cent; to rates shown in the Standard Tariff.
Now tu rn to th e Classification which begins on page 212. (arranged in alphabetical order), and under th e head of " B " it will be seen th a t brick, less carload is in Class "G ." T u rn to the S tan d ard Tariff, page 193, an d follow down th e first column, which shows th e miles. T here being no distance of 135 shown, th e next highest distance governs; and opposite 140 miles, in th e th ird column (this being th e colum n for Class "G ," th e rate is seen to be 9 cents per 100 pounds. T he road being allowed to ad d 25 per cent, to this class, and 25 per cent, of 9 cents being 2J^ cents, we find b y adding th e 9 and 2}/&. together, th a t the m aximum rate is 11 }4 cents per 100 pounds after disposing of fractions according to Freight Rule No. 8. To this 11/4 cents should be added the increases as per General O rder No. 28 and ex p arte 74 and th en reduced 10% as of July 1st, 1922.
Direction to Agents Regarding the Construction of Joint Rates.
Freight Rule No. 27 provides th a t the maximum charge on a shipment which moves between two points, both located in the State of Georgia, b u t not located on the same road, shall be 90 per cent, of the local rate allowed to be charged by each road handling the freight.
To illustrate, on a shipm ent o f freight, tak in g Class "G ," th e rate from F airburn (on the A. & W. P. R. R.) to Covington (on the Georgia R. R.) will be arrived a t as follows, viz: T ake th e A. & W. P. ra te for Class "G " F airb u rn to A tlan ta, from this deduct 10 per cent., to th is a d d th e Georgia R . R . rate from A tla n ta to Covington less 10 per cent., account jo in t shipm ent, which represents Georgia R . R . proportion for hauling joint through shipments from Fairburn to Covington.
Each railroad com pany's proportion in handling joint through shipments, m ust be determined before adding together to arrive at the through joint rate, and unless other wise provided b y proper division'basis am ong th e carriers, which do n o t affect th e total through joint rate paid by shipper or consignee, the through joint rate will divide between the carriers as made.
The attention of agents is called to the fact th a t m any of th roads are allowed to charge greater th a n th e stan d ard rates. T he classified list will be found on page 183 and on page 184 will be found the percentage of increase allowed to such roads, and care should be taken to see th a t the standard rates are increased to the extent provided
185

before th e deduction o f 10 per cent, in arriving a t jo in t or th rough rates. See instruc tions above for arriving at present Standard Rate.

57th REPORT
OF
GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION
1930 STEIN PRINTING COMPANY
STATE PRINTERS ATLANTA

ANNUAL REPORT

LETTER OF TRANSM ITTAL A tlanta, Georgia, N ovem ber 10, 1930.

To His E x c e l l e n c y , G o v e r n o r L. G . H a r d m a n :
The Georgia Public Service Commission subm its herewith its 57th Report, as required by law, covering the business and transactions of the Commission for the year ending D ecem ber 31, 1929.
In previous reports reference has been made to bills pending in Congress to restore to the State Commissions authority to make and control intrastate rates as formerly held under the principles laid down in w hat is know n as the Shreveport Case. A$ y et Congress has m ade no modification of th e Act of 1920 along the line suggested.

RAILROAD RATES

||

In our previous report we made reference to the revision of rates on brick and com plaints filed before the Interstate Commerce Commission alleging th a t the rates pre scribed b y our Commission for in tra sta te application in Georgia are unreasonably low and create discriminations against interstate commerce. In this case our Commission contended th a t the rates which we had prescribed for in trastate application in Georgia were reasonable and although lower than the interstate rates for certain distances we con tended th a t if any discrimination was found that it should be removed by reducing the interstate rate. The In terstate Commerce Commission has issued its final order, finding in favor of the Georgia rates, an d has required th e carriers to reduce th e in terstate rates; to the level of the Georgia rates, thus enabling the Georgia brick manufacturers to reach interstate territory, from which they had been barred under the prior interstate adjust
ment.
In our previous report reference was made to complaint which this Commission filed before the In te rsta te Commerce Commission regarding discrim ination in rates on logs from points in Florida to points in Georgia, as com pared w ith in tra sta te rates n n the A tlantic Coast Line Railroad in Florida. The Interstate Commerce Commission issued an order removing this discrimination which has been attacked by the Florida interests in the Federal Courts and which has been upheld by the U nited States D is trict Court and Court of Appeals and was argued before the Supreme Court of the U nited
States on October 31st of this year.
In our previous report reference was made to the general investigation instituted by the Interstate Commerce Commission relative to rates on cottonseed, cottonseed products and related articles, under its D ocket 17000, P a rt 8. T his proceeding also involves complaints against the Georgia rates as being unduly low and discrim inating against interstate commerce. The investigation of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion is being conducted in co-operation w ith the committee of Southern State Com missioners, a representative of this Commission serving on th is committee- The hear-, ings have been completed but final conclusions have not yet been reached.

I

In previous reports reference has been made to the general investigation by the Interstate Commerce Commission of the rates on cotton throughout Southern and W est ern territory, which also involved complaints against the Georgia rates being discrim ina tory against interstate commerce. This proceeding was conducted by the Interstate Commerce Commission in co-operation with a committee of Southern State Commis sioners, a representative of this Commission serving on this committee. In disposing o f this case the Interstate Commerce Commission found th at the Georgia rates did not discrim inate against interstate commerce and, therefore, no change has been m ade in the rates on cotton between points in Georgia.
In our previous reports reference has been made to a complaint before the Inter state Commerce Commission by the Georgia carriers, also shippers in Alabama, Tennes see and South Carolina, against the rates in Georgia on sand, gravel, crushed stone, etc., known as road building materials. N otw ithstanding the efforts on the part of our Commission to co-operate w ith the Interstate Commerce Commission by making a fur th e r revision o f th e Georgia rates to conform to th e in terstate rates by so constructing them as to prevent discrimination among the shippers of these m aterials in Georgia, the Interstate Commerce Commission has issued an order requiring the carriers to dis regard the order of our Commission and apply in Georgia a schedule of rates prescribed by th a t Commission. The rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and now in effect, works discrimination among the shippers within the State of Georgia and also gives preference to shippers in Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina over the shippers in Georgia. Inform ation furnished our Commission is to the effect th a t the production of the Georgia plants has been greatly curtailed and in some instances the. plants actually closed down on account of the order of the Interstate Commerce Com mission. O ur Commission has filed a bill for injunction in the U nited S tates D istrict Court seeking to enjoin the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission which has been denied by the C ourt and the case is now on appeal in the U nited States Supreme C o urt.
In previous reports reference lias been made to the investigation of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the m atter of rates on peaches from Georgia to northern and eastern destinations. This case was disposed of subsequent to our last report and our Commission has prescribed for Georgia in trastate application the same rates as fixed by the In terstate Commerce Commission, except th at we have provided special rates on peaches to take care of the movement from the orchards to the several canneries in the State.
Reference has been made in our previous reports to the general investigation by the Interstate Commerce Commission in the m atter of rates on lumber and other forest products, which was conducted in co-operation with a committee of Southern State Commissioners, a representative of this Commission serving on th at committee. The Interstate Commerce Commission has issued its final report and order in this proceeding. However, no revision has yet been made in the rates on lumber between points in Georgia as a result of this dcision.
Reference has been made in previous reports to our co-operation with the Inter state Commerce Commission in its general investigation, of rates on petroleum and petroleum products throughout Southern territory, also from W estern territory to Southern territory. This m atter has not yet been disposed of by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
II

Subsequent to cur last report, based on com plaint filed by shippers, our Commis sion has revised the rates on m anufactured iron and steel articles from producing points in Georgia to Savannah and Brunswick. For m any years carriers voluntarily pub lished what is known as water competitive rates to Savannah and Brunswick for the purpose of meeting competition of N orthern and Eastern manufacturers shipping via the E astern ports and w ater lines to Savannah and Brunswick. On petition of the car riers, which was not objected to by shippers, authority was granted to cancel these w ater competitive rates, w ith the understanding th a t the rates via the w ater lines would be increased proportionately. However, this was not accomplished and carriers were required to restore the old rates in order to place the Georgia m anufacturer on a parity with their competitors in N orthern and Eastern territory.
In our previous reports reference was m ade to tlxe order of th e In te rsta te Commerce Commission revising the rates on all classes and m any commodities from Georgia and other Southeastern territory to territory west of the Mississippi River known as South western territory, the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission having the effect oi destroying the relationship between Georgia shipping points and shipping points in N orth ern territory which have existed for m any years. Hearings were had by the Interstate Commerce Commission some months ago and we subm itted evidence in support of our contention th at the relationship between the Georgia shipper and the N orthern shipper should be restored, b u t as yet no final order has been issued by the Interstate Com merce Commission. On the other hand, the entire proceeding has been re-opened and hearings are being conducted at this time in which the Commission is participating.
Subsequent to our last report, complying with orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission to remove violations of the Fourth Section of the Interstate Commerce Act, carriers have published rates on marble and granite from various Georgia quarries to N orthern and E astern points which in m any instances reflect very m aterial increases. Com plaints have also been filed by Vermont quarries against the Georgia rates as being unduly low and discrim inating against interstate commerce. The Interstate Commerce Commission has suspended the tariffs of the carriers publishing the increased interstate rates and has consolidated this investigation with the complaint of the Vermont quarries and the entire m atter will be heard at an early date. This Commission is preparing to subm it evidence in protection of our Georgia rates and also in the interest of the Georgia quarries on interstate shipments to other states.
EXPRESS RATES
Since our last report there has been no im portant change in express rates.
UTILITY RATES
Electric Rates
Subsequent to our last report we have made a complete revision of the residential light and power rates of the Georgia Power Company, Georgia Power & Light Company and Savannah.Electric & Power Company, the Georgia Power Company having merged w ith the Columbus Electric & Power Company, the Central Georgia Power Company and the Augusta Aiken Railway and Electric Company and the Athens Railway & Light Com pany and the South Georgia Power Company, they also having purchased the proper ties formerly operated by the Baker C ounty Power Company. The rates which we have
III

prescribed for the Georgia Power Company apply uniformly throughout all of these territories.
D uring the past few years there has heen considerable change m the diversity of use of electricity m the home and instead of being used exclusively for lighting purposesas heretofore it is now used for heating, cooking, refrigeration and various other pur poses. The old form of step rates were not designed for present day uses and worked rank discrimination against m any customers and were of such nature as to prohibit the average middle class home enjoying the use of the new applicances. Our investiga tion developed th at there were m any customers who were not paying the actual cost of the service, such as installation of service, transformers, meters, m eter reading, book keeping, billing and collection, taxes and depreciation, etc., th a t accrue to each customer' w ithout regard to the am ount of electricity used, or w hether or not a n y electricity is used. We found these costs per customer were not less th an $1.00 per m onth; thus, under the old minimum charge system, where a customer did not use in excess of the am ount of the electricity included m the minimum charge of $1.00 this am ount of electricity w as being furnished free at the expense of other customers. Therefore, in making the re vision, we have provided for a customer s service charge to take care of this cost of ser vice for each customer alike and then m aterially reduce the cost of the electricity to a point more nearly the cost of production and distribution than theretofore existed. The effect of the new system of rates has enabled several thousand homes of the poorer or middle class of people to install electric conveniences which were not possible prior to the revision, and at the same time has removed discrim inations and placed all customers of the same class on a parity.
We have also revised the commercial lighting and retail power rates of the Georgia Power Company, making the rates uniform for the same class of service throughout the entire territory served by the company. The revisions of the residential and com mercial rates of the Georgia Power Company resulted in increases to approxim ately 30% of its customers with no change or decreases to approximately 70% of the cus tom ers' bills and a decrease in the C om pany's revenues of approxim ately $1,000,000 per year.
Reference was made in our last report to the Georgia Power Company merging m any small independent systems and m any more municipally owned systems. An analysis of the effect of these mergers shows th at the mergers have invariably resulted m m aterial reductions in the cost of service to the consumer and also a continuity of ser vice th a t was not theretofore enjoyed by the smaller towns, the Georgia Power Com pany being required under our rules to furnish-twenty-four hour service; whereas, under the small independent or municipal system service in some instances would not be fur nished through the day and would be cut off a t 10 or 12 o'clock a t night.
Gas Rates
Subsequent to our last report we revised the rates of the Georgia Public U tilities Company at Augusta, Georgia, providing for the service charge system of rates, the same system followed in revising the electric rates heretofore referred to. The Gas Company filed a bill for injunction w ith the U nited States D istrict C ourt, N orthern D istrict o f Georgia, and the order of the Commission was enjoined, it being claimed by the G as C om pany th a t the rates prescribed were so low as to confiscate the C om pany's property.
IV

In this case the Court approved rates subm itted to the Commission by the Gas Com pany which are m uch higher th an the rates we prescribed. I t is expected this case will be tried on its merits at an early date.
In our last report reference was made to the possibility of the Southern N atural G as Com pany constructing pipe lines from the gas fields in Louisiana to Georgia. This work has been completed and at the present time A tlanta, D ecatur, M arietta, Rome, Newnan, C arrollton, Griffin, M acon and Milledgeville are being served w ith natural gas. We have made necessary revision of the gas rates in these towns to meet the new condition, which has resulted in very m aterial reductions in the cost of this service to gas users. The rates prescribed a t Rome, Griffin and M acon have been excepted to by the Gas Com pany and we now have under consideration a petition for a re-opening of this case.
Telephone Rates
There has been no general revision of state-wide importance of telephone rates sub sequent to our last report, although some revisions have been made of independent com panies, affecting only the local communities which they serve.
MOTOR BUS REGULATION
Reference was made in our last report to proposed regulation of motor busses on and over the highways in this State. Subsequent to th a t time the General Assembly passed the M otor C arrier Act o f 1929, giving th is Commission jurisdiction over m otor carriers of passengers and property. This has increased very m aterially the work of our Commission. We have provided for standard rates, rules, classifications, etc., for motor carriers of freight, making the rates and classifications uniform where operating condi tions are the same, and making such exceptions as m ay be found necessary to take care of extraordinary or peculiar transportation conditions. As yet no uniform rates have been prescribed for motor carriers of passengers, the motor carriers being required to file their rates w ith the Commission, which are adopted b y th e Commission an d can not be changed by the motor carrier w ithout the approval of the Commission. We now have under consideration the advisability of prescribing maximum and minimum passenger fares for motor carriers.
W ESTERN & ATLANTIC RAILROAD
U nder the Act of 1915, leasing the S tate's railroad property, supervision of this property and the properties under lease in the C ity of C hattanooga, Tennessee, are placed under the Georgia Public Service Commission.
Based on a personal inspection of the W estern & A tlantic Railroad by the Com mission, and previously by its engineer, M r. J. H oustoun Johnston, it is the opinion of th e Commission th a t the road bed is all th a t could be expected in the way of reasonable and adequate efficiency. T he n et additions and betterm en ts to Decem ber 31, 1929, amounts to $2,186,126.15. Considering th a t under th e lease, three million dollars is re quired to be expended for this account and since only ten years of the fifty years have elapsed, it will readily be seen th e m anner in which th e lessee is caring for the road.

Since the last report a new passenger station has been erected on the west side of the Forsyth Street bridge, approxim ating a total sum of $600,000. The old Union D epot at W all and P ryor Streets, b u ilt in 1870, has been abandoned. T here is now in course of construction a cold storage warehouse and office building by th e Dixie T erm inal Warehouse Company, under a joint agreement between the State of Georgia, The N ash ville, C hattanooga & St. Louis Railway and said warehouse company. The State in curs no expense in the construction of this improvement, and under the term s of the contract will, a t the expiration of the present lease, become the property of the State. This property will cost approxim ately four million dollars.
Based on a valuation of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the value of the W estern & A tlantic Railroad, as of Decem ber 31, 1929, is $20,479,869.71. T his in cludes all expenditures since the beginning of the present lease in the way oP additions and betterm ents. The State owns certain other property which the Interstate Com merce Commission inventoried to the W estern & A tlantic Railroad but classified as " non-carrier la n d s /' which value is not used in com puting th e value above set forth. The value placed by the Interstate Commerce Commission on such non-carrier lands, as of June 30, 1916, is $1,256,147.43, which added to th e $20,479,869.71 brings th e to ta l physical value arrived at, as recited in the foregoing, of the W estern & A tlantic Railroad, to a sum not less than $21,736,017.14. In the work of the Federal Commission in valuing said railroad in 1916, there are values not set up b y them which would readily be re flected in the usual methods of ascertaining fair m arket value, sufficient in am ount in the judgm ent of those qualified to speak, to bring the value of this railroad to a sum not less than twenty-five million dollars.
R EC O M M EN D A TIO N S The law provides th at the Commission shall recommend from time to time such legislation as in its opinion is desirable. A t th e m om ent there is nothing th a t th e Com mission deems of im portance to suggest, but if occasion arises this will be done on the convening of the next Legislature.
